Chapter 32: We Were Told She Would Live

Sammy's P.O.V

I started crying once Annabeth's voice spoke in my mind, "No," I screamed as my knees buckled once more. Leo caught me as Percy appeared in the corner. "We were told that she would live," I said almost breathless as I listened to Renée's sobs from the hallway

"Yes, we were Mija," Lin said as placed his head in his hand

"They told me that she would live, she told us that she wouldn't give up," I said walking around the room just as Thalia had done moments before

Bianca came up and hugged me as my adrenalin kept me going, "She did but sometimes she doesn't have a choice," she began. "Come with me and sit down, she's not dead," she finished as she parted from the hug

"But Annabeth's voice is in my head," I began, "Pippa and Nico ran up to her room just as that beep sounded."

"We can't feel everything Sammy," Pippa said as she tried to control herself

"Machines can be wrong Sammy," Bianca began, "I've known that for a long time."

Lin sighed as he stood up, "I'm going home," he began, "I need to put the kids to bed."

"I'm heading out too," Renée's voice said with a sniff, "I can't be here all day, Sammy come on."

"I'm not leaving," I said as I saw the tearstained face of Zoë's adoptive mother

"Yes, you are," Lin argued as I threw myself in a seat and stayed there, "B's going to pull an all-nighter for us. If a single thing happens, she'll message us, I'm pretty sure she isn't the only one that's going to stay here either."

"You got that right Lin," Percy said as he stood next to Leo

Those two better not spend the whole night here, the two mothers grumbled in my head as I chuckled

"Annabeth and Calypso veto, you two staying the night here," I said as both of their shoulders sagged

"I could stay with B," Stephan said, "is mom fine with that?"

If Bianca is going to give up a fight about staying then I'm not going to argue because those two are like bread and butter, Annabeth said as I sighed

I give permission for Stephan to stay since you've been through a lot today and you need your rest, Samantha, Calypso said which deepened my sigh

"Mom's allowing both of you to stay," I said referring to Stephan and Bianca since Thalia had already left. "But I'm afraid that she'll die alone," I added as Lin smiled

"She won't die and she won't be alone," he began trying to comfort me, "These two will be fine with staying here, won't you," he asked and the two nodded. "See, everything will be fine, okay?"

I sighed as Calypso and Annabeth nagged me to go home with Renée and Alexis, "Fine," I began as Alexis came up in front of me with Renée. "You guys win," I said as I pushed myself up out of the chair and collapsed

Bianca's/Cassidy's P.O.V

Alexis ran and caught Sammy as she collapsed, "She passed out," Renée said after looking at Leo's child

"Her adrenalin finally ran out," I said reassuring everyone that was left in the room, I then looked at Stephan. "You willing to stay the night at a hospital," I asked him as he shrugged

"Wouldn't be the first time," he said as I stood up to hug Lin

I nodded, "All you know just as much as I do that, she will pull through this, everything will turn out to be alright."

Lin nodded in agreement as Renée shot me a tired smile, "Thanks B," Lin began, "We're going to head home, you two get some rest."

I nodded, "We'll try," I said, "we'll keep you updated as much as possible."

"Have a good night," Lin said waving as Alexis put Sammy's sleeping form on her back

"You too," I said as I turned to Pippa and Nico, "which one of you are staying?"

"I am," Pippa said as Nico and I shook our head, "why not?"

"You have a show tomorrow," I began, "and your understudy is currently passed out in a hospital so we can't have you not in the show tomorrow."

Pippa's shoulders sagged, "You're right," she said, "take care of him," she said before hugging me and leaving the hospital

"You sir," I began, "have some explaining to do about it not being the first time you spent the night in a hospital."

"As do you," he said as I told the receptionist that we were staying

"I stayed with her all night every night after the crash," I began, "it took tooth and nail for someone to get me away from her bed for school. Eventually, Maria helped me out of it and I ended up going to school a day before she woke up," I finished, "your turn."

Stephan sighed as Nico led us to Rose's room, "I had a sister," he began, "almost like Sammy but a little more energetic. She had an accident like the one Sammy told me that Zoë had," he sighed once more as he remembered. "She was the driver, she had time to wake up and say goodbye but she died soon after."

I let out a low whisper as we walked in behind Nico, "That one takes the cake," I said taking a seat. I then noticed that the Son of Hades had stopped at the doorway, "What's wrong Neeks," I asked

"I'm seeing Zoë talk with my father, a bearded man, and Luke," he said, "but I can't hear what they're saying."

"Can I see please," I asked a little hopeful as Stephan neared the son of Hades just as he touched my wrist

Rose's/Zoë's P.O.V

I stood there, looking at my body, stumped. I looked to see a man in a business suit dressed sharply but having a tired expression on his face, a man with a long beard and then Luke. "What is going on here," I asked looking at the three of them then I saw that Nico was watching with Cass and Stephan. I waved at them then returned my gaze to the three before me, "Well, Lord Hades do you have an answer," I asked with a small bow

The tired man chuckled, "I do have an answer," he began before looking at the three and nodding. "It seems that you know too much of the future according to what the old man says."

With that he jerked a thumb toward the man next to him, "It is unfortunate but true," he said as I looked at him then at Luke. "You said you had a limit of four people right," I asked him

"Yeah and after I told the future and thoughts of Sammy you had three," he explained as I nodded

"I remember," I said thinking, "but you could've lied to me about the limit of people you could tell."

"You are most definitely a legacy of Athena," Hades muttered as I glanced at him with a smirk

"Thank you, Hades," I said then turned back to Luke, "well then dear brother," I began, "what do you have to say for yourself brother?"

Luke looked around the room as a golden haze covered his eyes, "He's right and so are you," he began. "I did lie about the number of people I could tell you the future of."

"Why were you getting lonely," I asked him as I got closer

"Yes, I was," he said his lip curling into a cruel smile, "I was getting tired of sitting here with nothing to do but watch life go on. I decided to do something about it by convincing this old geezer- "

He was interrupted by a judo-flip and a kick to the groin, "I don't think you need to finish," I said, "if you forgot I am Annabeth's daughter."

Hades chuckled as Luke's eyes returned to their original ocean-blue color as they widened right before he disappeared. "He shall be taken care of appropriately," he said as I glanced towards my sister, his son and my girlfriend's brother and smiled

"But what about me," I began, "isn't the future that he told something that may happen and it's not certain because of the choices I make."

Both Hades and the old man looked at each other, "Who are you anyway," Hades then asked the old man as he chuckled

"I suggest Miss Jackson shield her eyes so she doesn't die," the man said as he started to glow and I turned away from him. "I am the creator of all," he began as a glow enveloped the room. I started going through the names of gods and goddesses wondering what the name of the creator was. Just as I came up with the name he said, "you can turn around now."

I turned around to see a man standing there, "Chaos," I said as I looked at the younger man who was buff, clean-shaven and had eyes the color of the galaxy

He smirked, "You are very smart," he began, "I am amazed at how you figured that out about the future," he said then nodded to the three watching us. "I will return you to your friend," he continued at I looked at them

"Holy Hera," Nico said blinking as Cass and Stephan gapped, "we can hear you."

"Lord Chaos," Cass said as she and Stephan knelt toward the god

Chaos smirked as he looked at the two, "You two may rise," he began, "as I was saying Zoë, I will return you to your friends and the land of the living. I am also giving you a gift," he said with a smirk, "look at your body," he ordered

I did so and I gasped, my right arm and left leg were there without a seem as if they had grown back. "You're giving her limbs back to her," Cass said standing up

Chaos smiled, "Yes I am," he began, "she's going to need them later on," he explained as I smiled. "I'll see you all later Jacksons, Valdez, and Di Angelo," he said as he snapped and disappeared and the pain seeped into my right leg and left arm. I gasped as I felt myself back in the bed my joints stiff

"Zoë," Nico exclaimed and my one eye darted to him as the other was met with darkness from the wrap

"Long time no see guys." I said with a lopsided smile, "so who's going to inform everyone about this?"
